Head of Studio
A Fusion of Two Legacies In my childhood home, creativity was never chaotic; it was a logical progression. My mother, a geometry teacher, lived by a simple mathematical truth: "If P, then Q." She instilled in me the belief that a strong foundation leads to natural confidence and "excellence." My path merges two distinct family heritages: the technical manufacturing of my grandfather’s sportswear company and the pedagogical dedication of my parents.
Since 1998, I have merged these worlds through the New York Footwear & Accessories Design Camp. Trained at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), I designed this boutique environment to function as a professional atelier rather than a traditional classroom.
For over 25 years, I have mentored students through the labor intensive hours required for true mastery. I believe that capability precedes age, and my goal is to give every apprentice the technical autonomy to walk into any top-tier design college or fashion house with absolute confidence.

Our mission
Revolutionizing Style Through Circularity: The Ethics of Obsolete Leather
About Us:
Redefining Luxury Through Circularity –At the heart of our mission is a commitment to circular fashion – a movement that proves style and sustainability are not mutually exclusive. Our collections are built on the strategic reclamation of obsolete leather, sourcing high-quality materials that the mainstream industry has discarded as “outdated” for the season. By receiving these premium hides, we leverage the natural durability, strength and longevity of leather to create accessories designed to last a lifetime.
We don’t stop at leather. By integrating recycled fabrics and salvaged textiles into our designs, we transform industrial waste into modern, high-utility fashion. Every bag we produce tells a story of restoration, honoring our planet by utilizing what already exists to craft something beautiful, functional and timeless.
